It's essentially over a hundred foot radius and what we've got already on the floor plotted out is this chocolate represents the court which would be the straight line that touches two points on on -- on the Kurth. And from there the carpenters have plotted backed straight lines. Which allowed them to measure and create the curve as well as a template that template has been elevated you can see over here. And just attached to the back wall onto the ledger and that gives us the line at the top. And this is going to be a beautiful storage system you know coat closet stereo equipment books and everything is take a look at the other end of it. The curve continues all along here back into the -- into the space. And he will go back down three steps to the original concrete slab to the -- Now in order to get this whole curved area nice and -- all of the metal studs have been installed on four inch centers that are very close together and here they're actually a double wall because this will be a pocket for a flush pocket door netting closes that area and this. This. Last eight foot section of curving you'll notice the screws or every four inches into the existing studs that we've put in years and not only are we looking at three -- inches of -- Blue board but behind that we have a quarter inch of the one plywood again for rigidity. Then in here. We essentially created a small cozy bedroom area the rest of the wall has to be built along here. But this will give. The occupants of privacy from the rest of -- face we have another one of these cases. Built in right here stood there will be some clothing storage in the lot although much of the general wardrobe storage will be in the front hall next to the bath area.

So that's how you make sure that it's flown by lining it up to the bottom line of the art. And into the already established problem yes and we probably -- so that we know cabinets perfectly square OK."
" it's good beer bottles me to align -- Are here to get put perfectly in line with the walls. Which we. And let every oranges right yes."
" With the case peace -- secured the next step is to apply a quarter inch -- the one plywood. Throughout all of these surfaces and screw them down. Every four inches on center to make sure. Thanks rigid wall. Then the next step is to install -- creates inch."
" Our plasterboard and it also is through. And points better."

" And now Brian our carpenter who was also a plaster. It's turning the job what kind of plaster is this -- this is Unocal. Veneer coat plaster veneer coat plaster and -- this type of walled quarter blue board in place we put two coats on right that's correct let's go to skim coat. Fills in all the imperfections and things that I think is the finish -- not going to take care of and we want to finish coat. Normally this could be put on a little Iraq but the only automotive and Hamilton. That you're gonna put on for pay no we haven't talked about that yet failed to connect this has to be put on -- yeah and of course when you start. Plastering you don't go to the middle along kind of -- year. Joints on the long board and to your quarters in these corners where pedestrians have buildup court. OK so how much time right before we can put the finish coat over the whole thing approximately thirty minutes depending on temperature and humidity okay. -- these cases do fit in nicely -- they did it yes these really look correct."
